Hi.
I installing DSL on my laptop. Now I would like to programing for Perl.

I try to install some CPAN modules but I get message (when I typing: perl -MCPAN -e shell):

Can't locate CPAN.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/share/perl /usr/..... ).
BEGIN failed--compilation abort.

How to correct that problem?

You have two choices: either update perl using apt-get or load the gtk2-0705.dsl package from the GTK2 section of the repository which contains what you need to use CPAN.

I think loading that gtk2-0705.dsl package is the easier of the two.

then run sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell from a terminal.

yes, open the emelfm file browser, select that file you are downloading, and press the "MyDSL" button to load it. Then you should be able to use CPAN.
